Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

5. Who provides family literacy?

Any group with a mission of meeting the educational needs of adults and children in the context of the family can provide family literacy. In Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Family Network, Adult and Community Learning Services, Title I, libraries, and private funders provide family literacy.

Typically, programs are established through a collaboration of adult education, age appropriate education for children, and family support service providers, as well as libraries, community agencies, and businesses, to offer a comprehensive array of integrated family-centered services that assist the family as a unit.

This collaboration creatively combines resources to provide additional outcomes and benefits for families and communities. Information on individual Massachusetts communities is documented in the MFLC Community Needs and Assets Profiles.
